Thanks! That was my first wreck and I really loved it. A little creepy inside but really sick!

Certification typically costs $275-$500 depending on the shop. The Open Water dives range from $50-$250 (4 dives required to become certified). These are usually done at the Dutch Springs Quarry in Allentown, PA for people in PA, NJ, DE, MD, CT, NY, etc. It's cold, but really a lot of fun. Then once you get certified, get your ass to some warm water and enjoy!

Gear breakdown... Rough estimates from memory:
Fins - $150
Mask - $100
Booties - $50
Snorkel - $30
BCD (Buoyancy Control Device) - $300-$1000
Regulator - $300-$3000
Dive Computer - $100-$2500

There's more, but you get the idea. Tanks, most people just rent at the dive shop or dive resort.

You can rent all the above gear, but I recommend purchasing fins, snorkel, mask, booties at the absolute least, but purchasing the other stuff is recommended as money is available.
